Dimeric erythropoietin induces higher hematocrit increase than monomer.
Two groups of 6 C57BL/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally with 3 × 300 U/kg (as determined by proliferation assay) of hEpoD (A) and hEpoM (B) on days 1, 3, and 5. Hematocrit values were determined 3 days before (D−3) and 8 days after (D8) the first injection. Values are given for each mouse.
